How Augusta handles construction debris

Augusta-Richmond County collects bulk items as part of standard weekly curbside garbage service, with no separate appointment or fee. Bulk piles up to 10 cubic yards go on the same day as your regular trash. As of August 1, 2025, Coastal Waste & Recycling holds the consolidated city contract for the entire service area, replacing a split arrangement that previously covered only half the city. Curbside recycling launched January 1, 2026 as an opt-in program: residents must enroll directly with Coastal at coastalwasteinc.com or call (706) 790-4117 to receive a recycling cart. Tires were dropped from curbside collection; free tire recycling events handle them now.

The Augusta rule for construction debris: Construction and demolition debris is not bulk waste. The Augusta Landfill takes it for a fee, or rent a dumpster.

What the city will not take: Garbage, yard waste, hazardous substances, tires (free at Tire Recycling events; the Deans Bridge Road landfill also takes residential tires), construction and demolition debris, and automotive repair waste. Electronics are not curbside bulk; the landfill accepts televisions.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: Augusta Environmental Services: Bulk Waste Collection, Augusta Environmental Services: Landfill Division (accepted waste), Augusta Environmental Services: Yard Waste Collection. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Augusta

  • In a pre-1980 house, test suspect materials for asbestos before demolition.
  • Remove cabinets, doors, and fixtures intact and schedule a ReStore pickup.
  • Sort concrete and brick, clean lumber, and metal into separate piles for cheaper or free outlets.
  • Bag drywall and plaster in small bags under 40 to 50 pounds; bundle lumber with nails removed.
  • Stage the remaining mixed debris in one accessible pile for a hauler, dumpster, or transfer station run.

Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:

  • Don't put renovation debris out with bulk pickup unless your city explicitly allows small homeowner amounts. It will be skipped and often cited.
  • Don't demolish anything in a pre-1980 house without checking for asbestos. Floor tile, mastic, popcorn ceilings, and pipe wrap are common sources.
  • Don't tear out cabinets you could donate. Complete kitchens are picked up free by ReStores.

Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.

Self-haul to a transfer station

$30 to $100 per pickup load

Transfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.

Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.

Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.
